About our service

WRDVS supports victim-survivors of current or recent domestic and/or Aboriginal family violence who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. We offer support regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural background, religious beliefs, physical or mental health conditions, or other diverse identities.

Our services are guided by the risk, safety, and identified needs of the victim-survivor, along with the availability of and access to specialist support for their unique circumstances.
